Runt Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Calling all competitive tycoon managers. Looking for something different? Something fun and a unique opportunity to create a bad-ass fighter? You’re reading the right post. The Global Association of Muay Thai (GAMT) proudly brings the Tycoon universe a new unique brand to the game, offering a new type of competition and an exciting opportunity to both veteran and new managers alike. We introduce to you, GAMT: Young Lions. Young Lions is a new organization based in Las Vegas that will offer a tournament based system regularly to all interested parties. This tournament will feature a unique point’s based system, regular fights and exciting match-ups. I know you’re already frothing at the mouth to know more, so let’s get into it. Tournament overview: Tournaments will be held in specific divisions at regular intervals on a Swiss Tournament like structure, featuring fights every two weeks, and match-ups based on the fighters score throughout the tournament. Fighters will not be matched more than once during the tournament rounds and no one will be eliminated until the final round, with each fight running on striking rules only. At the conclusion of the tournament rounds a KO stage will be held to determine an official winner, the fighter placing first will be offered a 100k contract, with second scoring a 50k contract and third, snatching a cool 30k contract with the number one Muay Thai company in the game, GAMT. Tournament Rules Conditions of entry: Fighters entering the tournament must meet the ID restriction, and be prepared to fight through all tournament rounds, win or lose. Fighters must be 18 years old or younger, and be prepared to fight every two weeks until the conclusion of the tournament. Tournaments may run simultaneously, fighting biweekly, giving managers an opportunity to have a fighter in each tournament running at the same time. Tournament Structure: Based on the Swiss system, fighters will receive points for each fight (See further down for scoring) and be matched each round with fighters of the same, or similar score but not fighting the same fighter twice. This process will repeat until the last tournament round, where the final 6 highest scoring fighters will proceed to the KO rounds. There will be 7 to 9 tournament rounds, followed by three KO rounds to determine the tournament winner (number of rounds will depend on the number of entrants). Fight Rules: Muay Thai rules apply to each bout, featuring five three minute rounds. Match-ups: In the first round all match-ups will be made completely at random. All participants then proceed to the next round in which winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers, and so on. In subsequent rounds, each competitor faces an opponent with the same, or almost the same, cumulative point score. No player is paired up with the same opponent twice. During all but the first round, competitors are paired based on approximately how well (or poorly) they have performed so far. Scoring: Each fighter is awarded points on how they perform, this structure is detailed below. Win: 3 Points Lose: 1 Point Draw: 2 Points Bye: 2 Points Refused fight: Minus 2 Points (Opponent would receive a Bye) Byes: Each tournament will endeavor to start with an equal amount of entrants. Byes will be awarded if your opponent refuses to fight, drops out or becomes inactive, or either fighter is too injured or cut to fight (Note that the two week turn around between fights should be enough for most to recover from the previous round.) KO Round: At the conclusion of the tournament rounds the final 6 fighters will compete in a round robin KO stage. 1st will face 6th, 2nd to face 5th, so on and so forth. The winner will be crowned tournament champion, second and third will be determined by the highest points (excluding the KO round winner.) This is the only stage of the tournament where you MAY face an opponent you have already fought once, the perfect place for redemption. Further Details Updates: Scoring will be posted to all competitors after each tournament event. Contracts: Fighters will be offered contracts to cover all of the tournament rounds and KO rounds, at 3000 Sign / 3000 Fight / 2000 win. Given each fighter will fight every two weeks, this contract will be plenty of financial support to cover all training needs, and more. First Tournament: Recruitment is now beginning for the GAMT: Young Lions first tournament, the tournament will have a 310k ID restriction and will be held at 170 pounds. Any fighter below this weight is eligible to enter. If you’re interested in this fun opportunity to create a kickboxing legend, please contact the staff at Young Lions. Losing Fighters: If you’re fighter doesn’t win the tournament, or do quite well, all may not be lost. GAMT: Young Lions will also feature a few select ID restricted divisions offering regular fights, therefore your fighter may be offered a contract to stay if you wish. Get in quick and register your interest, and fighter. Once the tournament is full, a second tournament may commence recruitment to run biweekly, though this is not guaranteed, so get your fighter in quickly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runt Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Only 7 spots remain in our 170 lb tournament. So get in quick. Once the tournament has kicked off we will start recruiting for a 205 lb tournament. I suggest creating a 205 fighter asap if you want in as I have a lot of managers just waiting for me to open registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLang Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Mate it's a bit confusing to have 2 threads with exactly the same info. My advice would be to redirect one of them to the other so people don't get confused or miss things posted in the other thread. No point in having 2 threads when everything can be in one. Just causes unnecessary confusion. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Is there still spots open in 205 game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakePhoenix Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Is there still spots open in 205 game? Yes, there are openings at 205. Sign up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runt Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Is there still spots open in 205 game? As Blake said. There is spots left. We have about 10 fighters so far (one of those is a free agent because the douche bag manager took the signing fee out by laundry and then released the fighter. Asshat.) We need a minimum of 12, maximum of 20. I'd prefer 14 to 16, but 12 will work just fine if interest drops. Watch this space though, as I will be running more tournaments in the future, some with an interesting spin to keep things exciting. Get your 205 fights in now, the more the better.

Mentor Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think you should start with 10. Round 1 will be between everyone. In round 2, 5 will qualify automatically and 3 from the first round (either picked randomly or by "vote") qualify to round 2. You do not need to wait till 12 or 16 to get this started. 8 is more than enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your idea is sound, though the swiss system doesn't quite work that way,I have run mock tournaments with 8 and 10 fighters and the results are not positive. Not only that but as a young org we have to consider filling cards. 14 fighters is 7 fights, which is enough to fill a card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
